We bring the strength of more than 100 years of experience and renowned engineering expertise to meet the needs of today’s mission and stay ahead of tomorrow’s threat. Our team solves tough, meaningful problems that create a safer, more secure world.

RTX Corporation Raytheon is looking for an experienced systems administrator with an active Secret clearance to work as part of a collaborative team to support classified networks on our Aurora campus in Colorado (Relocation support is available if you meet company criteria). The ideal candidate should have significant experience integrating, hardening, and maintaining SIPR networks.
